Chapter 169: Auction Preparation

ps: Modify the wording.╥ Thanks to "gatsby" and "cute cat sage" for the big monthly pass, and "lazy Ying Long" for a big reward.

The wet Lodge crystal cup, held in the palm of your hand, casts a silver glow in the soft sunlight. The amber liquid in the glass shook as the glass swayed, leaving a clear mark on the inside of the glass.

Through the amber crystal cup, a young girl in the hall can be seen, dancing like a butterfly to the melodious music of three violinists. This dance is like a beautiful flower blooming in a pile of rocks. And the melody that is whispered is like clear water flowing through a flat and smooth ditch.

The oil-headed man who turned his wrist rhythmically and shook the wine glass in his hand looked at the master's house sitting opposite him: "Say it! What brought me here today? Thou shalt not let us taste your treasured wine, thou shalt not let us taste your treasured wines! "

With the shaking, the wine in the glass rises and falls. The unique aroma of mellow brew gradually spreads into the air. This fresh and delicate and rich fruity flavor dilutes a little of the fat powder from the dancing girl. Coupled with the narrow rim of the wine, it all proves the preciousness of the liquid in this glass.

But between the words of the man in front of him. But it didn't leave any face for the owner here. At the same time, a middle-aged man with a big belly who put down the cup in his hand crossed his ten fingers and placed them on his chest: "Look at what you said! I don't think I invited you before?"

"Our Clive is not so stingy! It's just that the drinks in the previous banquets are really not comparable to today's." The shiny head on the other side gave such a response.

At the same time, he also put the white bone china cold dish in his hand back on the table. The half of the crystal clear vegetable jelly on this plate not only has a charming color but also exudes an attractive fragrance.

The pot-bellied man deliberately made a bitter gourd face: "You can't say that. Food and wine are so easy to come by. Drinks like that are held at least three times a month. Prepare at least 100 drinks for each time. If you serve this quality wine every time. Don't talk about me! Even my Poittu club will be devastated."

"That's it! All right! It's just a joke. Do you need to deliberately put on this face in front of us? Tell me, what's going on?" The first oily-haired man touched his eight-character nonsense and said that he was spared.

The fat-headed, big-eared Mr. Clive turned his head to look out the window at the town hall and said, "News from there!" Our dear lord, it seems that he is planning to hold an auction."

"Hold an auction?" The man with the big back immediately crawled with wrinkles on his forehead, "How could it be at such a time?" Isn't it enough for those fish-men to wreak havoc in the South, even the Northland generation is ready to do it?"

"Rapworth, don't think about it so much. Maybe the Earl just happens to have something you don't need to do it! Mr. Clive said and glared at his friend.

But before Mr. Lapworth could reply, the youngest of the three men spoke: "Mr. Clive, in the capacity of Lord Earl, is there really anything useless that needs to be auctioned?" Know what items can be put into the auction. It's often not that easy to get your hands on. For a big family like Boreham, even if you don't need it for the time being, you can just wait in the treasure trove. Who knows if it will be useful in the future! "

"Little Iprahim is not wrong at all. Unless it's a rush to raise funds, how could that Lord Earl suddenly hold an auction?" Mr. Lapworth hurriedly added to the side.

Then little Iplasin immediately expressed his opinion: "And with the riches of Boreham, the Earl will never be shy for ordinary reasons. Then I am afraid that the possible reason is that the war is about to break out, and Boreham needs to prepare for war."

"The internal problems of the Norhan kingdom are not likely to be warned. In terms of external expansion, Boreham cannot find any suitable targets in the current situation. Contact the changes that occurred on the big 6 in the previous period. No matter how you look at it, it's supposed to be a response to the threat of the fish-people." Mr. Lapworth sang and sang and harmonized.

If players knew that an auction was held for their own reasons, they would actually interpret it in the eyes of the directors of these chambers of commerce. It's exciting to think about what kind of expressions they will make!

The auction held by Boreham Collar this time could not have been the spoils of war from the ruins that you had brought back with the blood-stained gray flowers. The Earl seems to be preparing to use this as an introduction. Take the lead in organizing an unprecedented scale of buying and auctioning feast.

Otherwise, these caravan stewards in front of them would not have gotten the news of this in the first place. It is important to know that the secrecy work of the town hall is not of a high level though. But it's not what some people think – it's never easy to dig something out of their mouths.

"Don't worry so much! I've got a little bit of the inside story here." Mr. Clive smiled smugly, "It is said that the reason for this auction is that a young man from the Boleham family, who was traveling abroad, and his companion had found a relic of the old imperial period. It's just that the items they unearthed are not very useful for either themselves or the Boreham family, so the Earl took this opportunity to hold an auction."

"Did you hear this news from the Boreham family?" Little Iprasin was rather unimpressed, "Although Boreham. [,! The family gives the impression that one is faith-based. But don't forget that that's after the parties have made an agreement. If you ask openly, the Earl will give you the right answer. But Mr. Clive, your channels must not be so open-board! Don't forget that this family started with the art of war, and the other side of the Jedi played better than us businessmen."

"And even if what you just said is true, it's impossible to say if there's anything else hidden behind this statement." Mr. Lapworth said as he put a piece of vegetable jelly into his mouth again. Use one truth to cover up another. But what the Boreham family does best! "

It was this quote that reminded several businessmen of the centuries-old legacy of the Boreham family. That victory after victory can also be called magnificent. Little Iprasin took the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot: "It doesn't matter if it has anything to do with those damn fishmen in the end. We all need to prepare! After all, the impact on this aspect is just too great for us. Even if Bolham holds the port of Morbihan, if Hai 6 is cut off because of this, our performance this year will be over! "

"Anyway, that's for later. The most important thing for us now is how to make a profit from the next auction." Mr. Clive still insisted on his opinion, "Anyway, I'm going to apply to the headquarters behind me to transfer some treasures to participate in the auction. There is also a qiē to bid on the liquidity of the item. Don't blame me two for not reminding you that there are tall men on top of you, but if you don't do your part, you'll be in trouble."

Hearing this, Mr. Iprahim Jr. and Mr. Lapworth. Naturally, his face is not as good-looking as before. Don't look at the way they talked in front of Mr. Clive before, but in fact they still know what is light and what is important.

If the performance is affected by the attack of the fish-man, this is completely irresistible. Even if you didn't take precautions in advance, you suffered a little damage during the attack. The general meetings of the respective chambers of commerce are often not too harsh.

The Earl of Boreham seems to have the guise to hold a big auction in the middle of the realm. If these two don't get a piece of the business feast, it will be a big deal for them.

To say that this matter is small to say that they are negligent, if it is big enough, it is not enough ability - how can the regional manager of a pan-large 6 chamber of commerce be incompetent! Isn't that an excuse for someone to take over for themselves? You know, the people in the Chamber of Commerce who are staring at the seats below their butts are not 1oo but also 8oo.

"Looks like we're competitors again! This time, our 'Ivy' Chamber of Commerce will definitely overpower the limelight of the two of you." After all, the little Iprahim who said this still has some youthful vitality.

"This kind of thing is not just said with words, the key is to look at actions." Mr. Clive smiled suddenly, and said, "And our chambers of commerce are not only competing with each other, but also being able to cooperate when bidding on items!" For example, for the items that we think we must get, we should not compete with each other. So as not to raise the price too high! "

Mr. Rapworth nodded: "There is a problem in this regard, how to determine which auction item is the one that the Chamber of Commerce is aiming to get!" What if several companies look at the same item at the same time......"

In front of me, these agents belong to different chambers of commerce. In the living room on the second floor of this arcade, I began to take a look at the words. Some people may ask, aren't these people all in competition with each other? It seems to be quite harmonious.

For example, the relationship between the Pan-6 Chamber of Commerce is not so fierce from the perspective of the whole 6. After all, all the chambers of commerce belong to the type with a huge power and a deep background - if you want to defeat the enemy overnight, it can only be said to be a dream.

In addition, the resources they can mobilize are very staggering, and if they really fight to the death, it will definitely cause great turmoil in Western University 6. This situation is not in the interests of all parties. This also makes the competition between several pan-large 6 chambers of commerce more restrained.

Similarly, the strength of these chambers of commerce is strong, and the changes caused by the dispute between time and place are difficult to affect the overall situation. It's like a rally scattered all over the place, as long as it is not connected in a single group, then the country can be easily suppressed and dispersed. It can be said that it does not require much effort.

It is precisely because of this situation that although the competition between the top leaders of the two chambers of commerce is fierce. However, the relationship between the principals and the principals of the trading houses scattered all over the country is often quite good.

After all, although the resources that can be mobilized by both are not much, sometimes they can still help each other in emergencies. Who can guarantee that there are no natural disasters or anything in the operation? In order to avoid the possibility of punishment or improve one's evaluation in the Chamber of Commerce, sometimes you have to rely on a little outside help!

The reason why everyone carries the sedan chair is that everyone understands. In the process of this kind of relationship where people respect me and I respect others. The grassroots of several chambers of commerce have developed a quirky alternative way of dependency that is both cooperative and competitive.

Even when a family evacuates a certain area. Often the other one can't hold on to the situation for long. In this case, it is no wonder that the personal relationship between the principals of the Chamber of Commerce can be bad!

No matter what kind of hurricane this blood-stained ash flower returns and stirs up the air current. After the end of the meeting with the Earl of Boreham. Naturally, Barrett waited for news in his makeshift stronghold with his companions.

Barrett, who went to the Boreham Merchant House early in the morning to collect the payment for the bear warrior cloak (fake), returned to the small courtyard rented temporarily with 5 golden tickets.

Stepping through the door. [,! At that moment, Rielly rushed to meet her: "How's that! Has the final payment for that strange thing arrived?"

"You can rest assured that I will do something!" Barrett immediately gave the mage an 'ok' gesture, "The Boreham family is not going to ruin their family's reputation for this little money."

"Wasn't I worried about some accidents?" Rielly couldn't help but lame.

Behind her is Clematis. Bot was more concerned about another matter: "Has Barrett gotten any specific information, and when will our items be able to be traded?"

"That's right! The news of the auction has been spreading all over the city lately. But we don't have a single letter here. That's not going to work! "Claudia. Auditore chimed in.

Under the gaze of the two ladies, Barrett smiled and said, "You also know that Lord Earl is going to take our opportunity to organize a big auction. Then please wait for a while with peace of mind! After all, the organization and publicity of a large auction is not a simple matter for a year! "

"We also know it's not a simple thing. But we've been in Poitou for four days now, and the poor auction hasn't been seen yet! Rielly immediately choked at Barrett.

Barrett waved his hand steadily: "Don't worry, don't worry!" If we want to sell for a good price, this is the price we have to pay. You must know that many of the items we sold this time are very precious. Especially for the large mage guilds, the artificial lifeforms of the old empire are even more desirable. However, it is also because of the preciousness of the identity, so the Wedge Master organization needs a certain amount of time to prepare......"

"Barrett, you mean to give the Wedge Master Guild enough time to fundraise?" Claudia. Auditore raised an eyebrow.

"Nope! No! No! Barrett hurriedly shook his head, "If you want to ask who is the richest in this big 6, the Wedge Master Guild will definitely send the top three. There may be some shortfalls on the cash side. But they can definitely get an equivalent amount of collateral. Now it's all about getting them to set their sights on the Boreham Territory, on the loot we've gotten."

"Catch their eye?" Lalu on the side looked a little understood. But Clematis. Bot immediately understood Barrett's intentions: "Does that mean that general propaganda is simply not enough?"

"Of course!" Barrett held out his index finger, "For the senior members of the Wedge Master Guild. Every second counts. This makes it impossible for those organizations to fully rely on the auctioneer's propaganda to make a hasty decision. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid that the person in charge of this will be the high-level test bed."

"That is, to investigate the wedge's guild and assess the time for some other preparations, right?" Rielly touched her chin thoughtfully.

Barrett nodded: "That's what it looks like for our auction items. And for the Earl, this time will also help more people to participate in this auction."

"That's true, as long as the reputation goes out. Both buyers and sellers will have more and more people participating in this auction. For the Boreham family, it's not just about making enough profits, but also about being able to expand their influence in the industry." Claymatis. Bot touched his chin and said, "If you're lucky, you might be able to turn this sudden auction into one that takes place on a regular basis."

"Isn't that Earl of Boreham making a lot of money?" Rielly said with shame.

Seeing this, Barrett immediately shook his head: "It's completely Miss Bott thinking too much. Public regular auctions where it is so easy to be able to put together. If it were easy, why would you be able to get it today! If it's the belt at the bottom, it's still easier, but on the surface, the source of light is a big problem."

"But in any case, the earl made a lot of money from this hitchhiker." Rielly was visibly a little sullen.

Barrett looked at the mages in the team a little strangely: "Rielly, did you burn it?" It is also their ability for people to take advantage of this opportunity to earn benefits! And the manpower, material resources, and force they invested in the early stage are also real. As a good friend of Miss Bott and Miss Auditore, you must be used to seeing this kind of thing! I always think it's weird now?"

"What do you mean I'm used to seeing this kind of thing?" Rielly's eyes widened as she stared at Barrett.

Swept his gaze over Clematis. Bot and Claudia. After Auditore, Barrett was silent for a moment. But in the end, he still spoke: "In reality, don't most of the big people who live in high-end residences do the same thing as the Earl of Boreham in front of them?" It is very common to use the resources that can be mobilized in your hands to earn tens of millions of times the profits of laborers! "

"Is this one the same?" Rielly stared at Barrett with a straight face.

Barrett threw his hands out: "Is there anything different?" In essence, it is just the possessor of the means of production to earn greater profits. Anyway, this kind of thing is very difficult to stop, wouldn't it be nice to look at the point? Maybe it's because of the sudden change of stance in the game, Rio Kay you can't accept it......"

"That's it! Barrett, don't provoke Lily." Claymatis. Bott immediately interrupted, "It seems like we're going to need to be in Boreham for a while anyway."

"That's right. [,! ]! Only the more time we have to prepare, the higher the benefits we can reap. And we've already paid the auction commission. So don't worry about the rising tide in this area." At this point, Barrett had a smug look on his face.

But Clematis. Bot immediately poured cold water on Barrett: "That's just that Lord Earl is not prepared to make money from us. After all, the appearance of that little guy as an auction item is the best advertisement for the whole auction. It's normal for them to not charge us commissions! "

"That's it! All right! I'll admit that I'm inexperienced in this area! Barrett, who was choreographed by the other party, had to raise his hands and surrender, "But don't forget, it is cheaper for the big forces to snatch it directly."

Claymatis. Bot nodded: "That's right! I have to say that the Boreham family has done a very good job in ensuring our interests. We who failed to protect the fruits of victory have indeed made a lot of money at that price."

"You two don't have to talk about such difficult topics all the time! Can't we say something that is directly related to us? For example, what should we do in the time when the auction starts. You can't waste time in the yard! The noodles, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

Barrett didn't even think about it, so he said, "I think the work of helping Rielie choose an organization can already begin. As the news of these auctions spreads quickly, more and more mage organizations will come to Bolim to collar them. It's also very convenient for our work."

Apparently this idea has been in Barrett's mind for a long time. He seems to have done quite a bit of work on this. Even the promotion of the auction was indispensable to his handiwork! (To be continued!)
